Factory Acceptance Test

TransCore successfully completes factory acceptance testing and certification of the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to be used statewide. The first installation will be on North Carolina’s Triangle Expressway in the Research Triangle Park.
Factory acceptance testing was a fundamental criteria to validate the toll collection system prior to being successfully delivered to the Turnpike Authority. TransCore technology was subjected to the Turnpike Authority controlled testing, evaluating the performance of the Encompass®6 multiprotocol RFID readers, the eGo® Plus RFID paper-thin, batteryless windshield sticker tags, and the eZGo Anywhere™ multiprotocol RFID transponders.
“Completion of the factory acceptance tests represents a key milestone in preparing for the Triangle Expressway opening and proves the TransCore RFID technology provides the interoperability we need to have in place with the other major toll operators along the East Coast,” explained Turnpike Authority Director of Operations Barry Mickle.
